We see that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in The Hale?

I am buying a terrace house in The Hale. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in The Hale can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Many works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in The Hale on the Building Society Association’s Website?

We have agreed to purchase a house in The Hale. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nottingham be concerned?
Given that your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to The Hale.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in The Hale before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.

If you call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in The Hale.

Me and my partner are expecting to exchange buying a house in The Hale but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the owner of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The property lawyer listed on a lender conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the bank of any variations to the purchase amount. In the event that you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to your bank then they would have no choice but to discontinue representing you and the lender.
